be_v of_o his_o church_n in_o which_o respect_n we_o be_v say_v i_o more_o bind_v unto_o he_o than_o be_v the_o jew_n now_o it_o be_v true_a y_fw-mi t_o god_n write_v of_o his_o law_n in_o two_o

to_o engrave_v it_o so_o in_o these_o stone_n yet_o do_v he_o give_v a_o inkling_n y_o it_o that_o will_v nothing_o boot_n very_o because_o y_z e_o true_a table_n wherein_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o

all_o that_o we_o see_v how_o man_n have_v transpose_v those_o bound_n they_o will_v not_o stick_v to_o confess_v that_o bound_n be_v a_o very_a holy_a thing_n and_o true_o the_o transgress_v in_o

such_o war_n as_o be_v take_v in_o hand_n through_o ambition_n or_o covetousness_n or_o pride_n otherwise_o we_o see_v here_o that_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n ought_v to_o make_v war_n for_o god_n

and_o at_o leastwise_o show_v that_o you_o have_v not_o forget_v his_o so_o great_a and_o inestimable_a benefit_n yes_o and_o so_o we_o see_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o jew_n may_v be_v negligent_a in_o keep_v god_n law_n moses_n renew_v the_o rememberaunce_n thereof_o and_o set_v their_o deliverance_n before_o they_o that_o they_o may_v be_v the_o better_a mind_a and_o consider_v that_o they_o

that_o the_o jew_n be_v deliver_v out_o of_o egypt_n he_o mean_v to_o do_v we_o to_o wit_n that_o god_n intend_v to_o shoule_fw-mi they_o out_o from_o all_o other_o nation_n special_o by_o assign_v

to_o show_v they_o why_o the_o law_n be_v give_v herein_o than_o we_o see_v that_o if_o we_o have_v any_o good_a will_n to_o know_v the_o truth_n our_o lord_n will_v not_o suffer_v we_o to_o be_v

that_o they_o discharge_v not_o their_o dewtie_n except_o they_o maintain_v a_o other_o man_n wickedness_n oh_o say_v they_o he_o that_o have_v do_v this_o offence_n be_v my_o neighbour_n or_o my_o

to_o tread_v they_o under_o foot_n because_o they_o see_v they_o be_v able_a to_o work_v their_o own_o revenge_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o god_n make_v no_o mention_n of_o such_o person_n it_o be_v true_a in_o deed_n that_o general_o he_o always_o appoint_v we_o this_o rule_n not_o to_o do_v unto_o other_o otherwise_o than_o we_o will_v have_v do_v unto_o ourselves_o 1●_n matt._n 7_o

of_o the_o like_a but_o god_n say_v let_v not_o any_o man_n grieve_v the_o poor_a man_n let_v none_o afflict_v the_o stranger_n let_v none_o trouble_v the_o fatherless_a let_v none_o molest_v the_o

therefore_o note_v well_o that_o god_n in_o this_o place_n as_o
that_o the_o judge_n may_v persuade_v the_o man_n and_o if_o they_o see_v he_o to_o stand_v stiff_a in_o his_o opinion_n than_o the_o woman_n shall_v pluck_v off_o his_o shoe_n from_o his_o foot_n

we_o have_v far_o to_o note_n that_o god_n will_v have_v the_o judge_n speak_v unto_o the_o man_n to_o persuade_v he_o as_o far_o as_o they_o be_v able_a and_o if_o the_o man_n will_v not_o consent_v unto_o they_o they_o shall_v content_v themselves_o with_o this_o kind_n of_o punishment_n whereby_o we_o see_v that_o the_o magistrate_n and_o other_o justicer_n ought_v to_o abstain_v from_o use_v any_o force_n and_o violence_n in_o that_o thing_n which_o they_o can_v simple_o command_v as_o for_o example_n if_o there_o be_v a_o thing_n which_o be_v good_a and_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o law_n for_o it_o and_o i_o be_v of_o power_n and_o authority_n will_v constrain_v a_o man_n to_o do_v what_o i_o think_v good_a be_v there_o any_o reason_n in_o it_o for_o the_o law_n constrain_v he_o not_o to_o do_v it_o and_o i_o ought_v not_o to_o pass_v those_o bound_n let_v we_o therefore_o note_v well_o that_o such_o as_o be_v arm_v with_o the_o sword_n must_v contain_v themselves_o within_o their_o bound_n and_o not_o challenge_v to_o themselves_o any_o lawless_a liberty_n to_o say_v what_o i_o command_v nothing_o but_o that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o therefore_o you_o must_v do_v it_o no_o for_o there_o be_v no_o constrain_v where_o there_o be_v no_o law_n when_o there_o be_v a_o law_n a_o man_n must_v hold_v himself_o to_o the_o rule_n thereof_o but_o yet_o in_o the_o end_n the_o point_n that_o must_v be_v come_v unto_o be_v to_o presume_v to_o bring_v man_n into_o no_o further_a subjection_n than_o the_o law_n bind_v they_o unto_o you_o see_v then_o what_o we_o be_v far_a to_o bear_v in_o mind_n upon_o this_o place_n now_o as_o touch_v the_o shame_n that_o be_v do_v in_o pluck_v off_o of_o their_o shoe_n &_o in_o spit_v in_o their_o face_n it_o serve_v to_o provoke_v man_n to_o discharge_v their_o duty_n the_o better_a yet_o nevertheless_o if_o a_o man_n have_v rather_o sustain_v this_o reproach_n than_o to_o take_v wife_n against_o his_o will_n he_o be_v discharge_v thereof_o and_o herein_o we_o see_v as_o i_o have_v already_o tell_v you_o that_o god_n show_v the_o authority_n of_o a_o father_n in_o be_v grieve_v when_o the_o family_n be_v not_o maintain_v in_o israel_n and_o yet_o be_v he_o content_v to_o bear_v with_o such_o as_o can_v not_o find_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o stoop_v to_o that_o yoke_n because_o it_o be_v so_o hard_o therefore_o if_o any_o have_v rather_o to_o suffer_v such_o shame_n than_o to_o take_v a_o wife_n after_o that_o manner_n he_o come_v to_o declare_v it_o public_o but_o we_o must_v now_o return_v unto_o that_o which_o i_o say_v in_o the_o beginning_n namely_o that_o there_o be_v not_o now_o any_o carnal_a kindred_n privilege_v as_o the_o race_n and_o lineage_n of_o abraham_n be_v for_o god_n adopt_v we_o nowadays_o under_o condition_n that_o we_o be_v ingraff_v by_o faith_n into_o his_o church_n and_o so_o make_v the_o child_n of_o abraham_n for_o so_o much_o therefore_o as_o the_o

y_a e_o land_n of_o canaan_n be_v give_v in_o possession_n unto_o the_o people_n nowadays_o you_o e_o whole_a earth_n be_v y_z e_z dwell_v place_n of_o the_o child_n of_o god_n &_o although_o they_o

in_o diverse_a tongue_n yet_o it_o skill_v not_o see_v that_o oneself_o same_o spirit_n govern_v they_o and_o that_o they_o have_v all_o one_o hope_v of_o the_o everlasting_a salvation_n which_o be_v promise_v unto_o they_o those_o be_v the_o thing_n wherein_o they_o be_v all_o knit_v and_o conjoin_v together_o see_v it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o note_v that_o god_n will_v have_v every_o of_o we_o nowadays_o for_o his_o own_o part_n to_o do_v his_o indevor_n to_o multiply_v the_o church_n and_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n be_v no_o long_o beget_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n through_o

to_o win_v any_o man_n and_o to_o bring_v he_o into_o his_o flock_n then_o be_v we_o as_o spiritual_a father_n and_o that_o also_o be_v the_o very_a cause_n why_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n

not_o that_o office_n of_o preach_v the_o word_n of_o god_n yet_o a_o private_a person_n be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o church_n may_v begette_v spiritual_a child_n unto_o god_n if_o he_o have_v occasion_n and_o ability_n to_o win_v a_o poor_a soul_n &_o to_o inlighten_v he_o with_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o gospel_n let_v we_o then_o bestow_v our_o pain_n to_o this_o end_n know_v that_o if_o the_o carnal_a marriage_n be_v so_o precious_a under_o the_o law_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n sure_o the_o mean_a whereby_o we_o be_v make_v member_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v a_o thing_n now_o far_o dear_a and_o of_o great_a estimation_n with_o he_o and_o therefore_o let_v every_o man_n employ_v himself_o that_o way_n to_o the_o uttermost_a of_o his_o poor_a for_o here_o be_v no_o force_n of_o we_o to_o marry_v against_o our_o will_n but_o of_o the_o win_n of_o wife_n unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o by_o the_o multiply_a of_o the_o church_n we_o may_v always_o be_v the_o more_o firm_o link_v unto_o he_o see_v then_o that_o our_o condition_n be_v more_o gentle_a and_o sweet_a than_o that_o which_o be_v under_o the_o law_n we_o ought_v to_o be_v stir_v up_o

what_o we_o have_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n in_o effect_n as_o touch_v this_o law_n and_o now_o we_o see_v that_o although_o it_o be_v no_o long_o in_o use_n yet_o may_v we_o gather_v some_o profit_n

the_o wisdom_n as_o i_o tell_v you_o &_o the_o discretion_n to_o apply_v it_o well_o unto_o our_o use_n it_o follow_v that_o if_o two_o man_n be_v at_o strife_n and_o one_o of_o their_o wife_n come_v to_o deliver_v her_o husband_n and_o take_v his_o adversary_n by_o the_o privity_n her_o hand_n shall_v be_v cut_v off_o this_o law_n betoken_v in_o effect_n that_o honesty_n be_v to_o be_v keep_v

which_o we_o ought_v to_o take_v heed_n of_o now_o as_o concern_v the_o special_a case_n which_o be_v set_v down_o here_o we_o see_v how_o the_o woman_n may_v have_v somewhat_o for_o her_o excuse_n

to_o blind_v man_n eye_n or_o to_o hinder_v our_o come_n unto_o he_o lest_o it_o shall_v stay_v we_o too_o long_o in_o this_o world_n he_o will_v not_o suffer_v we_o to_o be_v so_o entangle_v in_o our_o delight_n as_o to_o fall_v altogether_o on_o sleep_n in_o the_o same_o there_o be_v yet_o a_o second_o point_n to_o wit_n that_o when_o god_n forbear_v to_o punish_v we_o for_o our_o sin_n it_o be_v not_o that_o he_o have_v not_o always_o just_a cause_n so_o to_o do_v if_o he_o list_v let_v the_o perfect_a folk_n in_o the_o world_n be_v choose_v out_o and_o yet_o if_o god_n will_v deal_v with_o they_o by_o rigour_n he_o shall_v lay_v many_o hard_a knock_n upon_o their_o pate_n but_o true_o we_o think_v it_o not_o so_o for_o we_o be_v not_o so_o sharp_a sight_v as_o to_o know_v the_o

mean_v the_o most_o righteous_a that_o can_v be_v find_v as_o for_o example_n when_o david_n be_v cruel_o persecute_v of_o saul_n and_o of_o all_o his_o enemy_n when_o abraham_n be_v stinge_v and_o

and_o final_o when_o the_o apostle_n and_o all_o the_o faithful_a be_v cruel_o deal_v with_o it_o be_v not_o for_o their_o sin_n no_o very_o but_o have_v it_o please_v god_n to_o have_v call_v they_o

as_o for_o example_n whereas_o it_o please_v god_n to_o make_v job_n a_o mirror_n of_o patience_n yet_o nevertheless_o he_o make_v he_o acquaint_v with_o his_o own_o frailty_n but_o howsoevet_n it_o be_v yet_o be_v it_o his_o intent_n to_o make_v he_o to_o serve_v for_o a_o example_n to_o we_o all_o we_o perceive_v then_o that_o god_n have_v other_o meaning_n in_o afflict_v his_o people_n than_o only_o to_o punish_v their_o sin_n nevertheless_o he_o cease_v not_o to_o uphold_v they_o even_o by_o his_o own_o mere_a grace_n and_o yet_o must_v we_o on_o our_o side_n resort_v back_o to_o this_o point_n that_o the_o original_n of_o all_o the_o misery_n that_o we_o suffer_v in_o this_o present_a world_n do_v proceed_v of_o sin_n and_o why_o so_o for_o be_v not_o this_o corruption_n in_o our_o

the_o promise_n that_o be_v here_o contain_v let_v we_o not_o think_v that_o the_o meaning_n of_o god_n be_v to_o pamper_v the_o old_a people_n in_o their_o transitory_a pleasure_n but_o rather_o that_o the_o same_o shall_v be_v a_o mean_a to_o draw_v they_o up_o on_o high_a as_o he_o mean_v nowadays_o towards_o we_o for_o all_o the_o good_a that_o we_o receive_v of_o he_o have_v this_o end_n and_o intent_n that_o our_o mind_n shall_v always_o be_v raise_v up_o to_o the_o heavenly_a life_n do_v god_n give_v we_o bread_n to_o eat_v therein_o he_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v our_o father_n

and_o to_o be_v preserve_v from_o their_o enemy_n here_o god_n set_v down_o both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o for_o touch_v the_o one_o he_o say_v thou_o shall_v be_v bless_v aswell_o in_o the_o

certain_a that_o the_o chief_a blessing_n which_o we_o can_v desire_v of_o god_n be_v in_o our_o own_o person_n that_o he_o provide_v we_o of_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v requisite_a for_o this_o

of_o the_o earth_n and_o to_o all_o provision_n it_o seem_v here_o at_o the_o first_o show_n that_o god_n mean_v to_o pamper_v his_o people_n as_o though_o he_o will_v set_v they_o up_o in_o a_o sty_n and_o there_o cram_v their_o belly_n as_o it_o be_v to_o lay_v they_o a_o sleep_n at_o their_o ease_n and_o to_o be_v short_a that_o they_o shall_v be_v here_o as_o in_o a_o paradise_n but_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o heretofore_o that_o it_o behove_v god_n to_o bestow_v his_o benefit_n more_o large_o upon_o the_o father_n that_o live_v under_o the_o law_n because_o they_o can_v not_o otherwise_o be_v draw_v unto_o he_o see_v that_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o eternal_a life_n be_v yet_o obscure_a unto_o they_o howbeit_o we_o have_v to_o note_v herewithal_o that_o when_o god_n speak_v after_o this_o manner_n he_o mean_v not_o only_o to_o give_v man_n hope_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v bless_v in_o all_o respect_n but_o also_o to_o admonish_v we_o that_o nothing_o let_v we_o from_o enjoy_v a_o sovereign_a and_o perfect_a felicity_n in_o this_o world_n while_o we_o wait_v for_o the_o life_n of_o heaven_n but_o only_o that_o we_o be_v wrap_v in_o vice_n and_o corruption_n and_o so_o do_v god_n thereby_o mean_a to_o train_v the_o faithful_a that_o they_o shall_v think_v thus_o with_o themselves_o let_v we_o serve_v god_n and_o we_o shall_v want_v no_o manner_n of_o

not_o as_o we_o will_v let_v we_o understande_v that_o this_o come_v to_o pass_v because_o we_o be_v wretched_a creature_n and_o can_v abide_v the_o blessing_n of_o god_n so_o perfect_a as_o it_o may_v be_v among_o we_o by_o mean_n whereof_o he_o be_v fain_o to_o withdraw_v his_o hand_n and_o to_o give_v we_o but_o a_o portion_n of_o his_o blessing_n because_o that_o if_o we_o shall_v have_v so_o much_o as_o he_o can_v find_v in_o his_o heart_n to_o bestow_v upon_o we_o it_o shall_v glut_v we_o and_o in_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v be_v choke_v therewith_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n then_o why_o god_n do_v here_o so_o great_o magnify_v his_o blessing_n it_o be_v do_v not_o for_o that_o man_n have_v ever_o be_v bless_v in_o all_o manner_n of_o respect_n without_o feel_v of_o any_o evil_a to_o vex_v they_o this_o i_o say_v never_o happen_v and_o wherefore_o then_o do_v god_n promise_v it_o as_o we_o have_v say_v afore_o it_o be_v to_o make_v we_o understande_v that_o whensoever_o our_o life_n be_v not_o so_o bless_v as_o we_o cover_v we_o shall_v consider_v that_o god_n know_v we_o to_o be_v unable_a to_o receive_v the_o fullness_n of_o his_o benefit_n and_o therefore_o be_v fain_o to_o distribute_v they_o unto_o we_o by_o piece_n meal_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o sick_a folk_n or_o little_a child_n which_o for_o want_v of_o discretion_n be_v fain_o to_o be_v govern_v by_o

our_o lust_n be_v miserable_o corrupt_v god_n bestow_v his_o blessing_n upon_o we_o sufficient_o but_o we_o like_o sick_a folk_n do_v refuse_v good_a meat_n and_o fall_v to_o foul_a feed_n which_o can_v but_o hurt_v we_o thus_o be_v we_o carry_v away_o by_o our_o wicked_a affection_n and_o be_v never_o able_a to_o direct_v the_o use_n of_o god_n benefit_n nor_o to_o govern_v they_o as_o behove_v for_o we_o will_v infect_v and_o defile_v all_o if_o he_o provide_v not_o for_o it_o aforehande_v let_v we_o mark_v therefore_o that_o god_n do_v here_o warn_v we_o to_o call_v our_o sin_n to_o remembrance_n and_o to_o bewail_v they_o as_o often_o as_o we_o enjoy_v not_o such_o fullness_n of_o his_o blessing_n as_o be_v here_o mention_v nevertheless_o he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o hope_n that_o by_o serve_v of_o he_o we_o shall_v prosper_v and_o have_v enough_o for_o our_o contentment_n and_o indeed_o we_o see_v how_o all_o the_o faithful_a have_v in_o that_o behalf_n behave_v

be_v a_o word_n well_o worth_a the_o mark_v where_o moses_n say_v that_o god_n have_v separate_v we_o from_o all_o other_o nation_n of_o the_o world_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o this_o word_n

therefore_o in_o behold_v what_o the_o state_n of_o man_n be_v in_o this_o present_a life_n let_v we_o learn_v to_o resort_v always_o to_o this_o promise_n that_o god_n have_v not_o only_o create_v

if_o his_o grief_n continue_v and_o he_o find_v no_o help_n in_o man_n in_o all_o our_o affliction_n we_o can_v complain_v welynough_o but_o we_o consider_v not_o that_o god_n withhold_v man_n help_n

of_o god_n promise_n for_o it_o be_v a_o token_n that_o we_o give_v no_o credit_n to_o that_o which_o god_n speak_v when_o we_o continue_v like_o reed_n shake_v with_o every_o wind_n and_o tremble_v

of_o the_o holy_a thing_n and_o a_o disfeat_n of_o the_o power_n of_o god_n word_n let_v we_o bear_v well_o in_o mind_n therefore_o that_o if_o we_o come_v hither_o to_o sermon_n and_o yet_o

or_o any_o reform_n of_o our_o life_n thereafter_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o we_o must_v understande_v that_o god_n word_n be_v not_o name_v a_o guard_n without_o cause_n for_o as_o much_o

unto_o he_o that_z y_z e_z land_n be_v not_o the_o chief_a heritage_n whereunto_o the_o child_n of_o abraham_n be_v to_o attain_v here_o therefore_o we_o have_v a_o sure_a record_n that_o although_o

the_o thing_n which_o our_o lord_n tell_v we_o we_o must_v rather_o die_v a_o hundred_o time_n why_o so_o for_o y_o e_o obedience_n which_o we_o owe_v unto_o man_n ought_v always_o to_o be_v lead_v by_o this_o rule_n that_o god_n hold_v still_o his_o place_n and_o every_o man_n submit_v himself_o to_o he_o both_o great_a and_o small_a let_v we_o mark_v well_o then_o that_o if_o we_o will_v
